Windows 10 received the KB5041580 pack last week as part of the Patch Tuesday updates, but the 0x8007010b error seems to be preventing users from installing it.
The patch, which addresses critical vulnerabilities and fixes the BitLocker Recovery issue, which also happened with Windows 11, is essential for the well-being of Windows 11, so installing it is a must.
The 0x8007010b error, on the other hand, is a common but very frustrating issue with Windows. It is caused by corrupt system files and further errors with the Windows Update components. However, viruses, malware, or Windows Defender can also interfere with certain aspects of the installation process.

How to bypass the 0x8007010b error to install KB5041580
- You can run Windows Update Troubleshooter
- Clear Windows Update cache
- Reset the Windows Update components (this also seemed to work with the latest Windows 11’s Patch Tuesday updates)
